We report the results of a high resolution, high contrast polarimetric H-band imaging survey of optically bright (V<15) young stars in the Rho Ophiuchus star forming region taken with the Hokupa`a 36 element AO system used on the Gemini North 8 m telescope. A total of 11 stars were observed, 8 previously classified as Classical T-Tauri stars (CTTS) and 3 as Weak-lined T-Tauri stars (WTTS). Out of the 8 CTTS stars observed, 5 revealed a centrosymmetric scattering signature (SR24 N/S, ROXR1 23, ROXR1 51a, ROXR1 3). Out of the 3 WTTS observed, one of them (Roxj1626.0-2421) was found to have a centrosymmetric scattering signature. Polarized intensity H-Band images of the objects with positive detections are presented.
